Chapter 12: Questioning
"What's that?" Xia Beifeng also walked out of the house with the two of them, looking up at the gloomy sky.
"I don't know what it is yet, but I won't know until it actually comes out." Ye Baiyu lowered his head and looked at his fingers, and said to himself: "I sat at home for an afternoon a few days ago, and I didn't figure out what could come out, so I had to run over to take a look...... Otherwise, do you think that a zombie eating or something can be done by me to come and see it in person? ”
"I'll still count everything on you!" Xia Beifeng looked at him with a smile, raised his hand and pressed down the head of Sun Hao, who was curiously looking at the sky beside him, and turned his head to Ye Baiyu and asked jokingly: "Didn't your old man always claim to be a calculant and undoubtedly see everything, what's wrong now, he can't even count a monster that hasn't been born yet?" ”
"That's not what it used to be!" Ye Baiyu shook his head with emotion and sighed, "...... now." Alas. ”
"Daoist Ye, I don't understand what you mean." Su Yang also walked out, and then Ye Baiyu's words asked him, "What is coming out." ”
"That's it...... His old man had a "day and night observation of the sky, and found that there was going to be a big monster that brought disaster to the country and the people here, although he didn't know what kind of monster it was, but he didn't delay him to come and strangle that thing in the cradle." Xia Beifeng thought kindly, Su Yang explained, "As for what that thing is, he doesn't know what it is. ”
"It's not like I don't know at all." Ye Baiyu looked intently at his neatly trimmed nails, and explained dispensably, "This kind of thing depends on chance, I still have a number of things that can come out, but it's still uncertain which one will come out in the end...... It's like when your wife's child is not born and you don't know if it's a man or a girl. ”
"When we encounter this situation, we usually try to find a way to go and watch the B ultrasound." Su Yang replied solemnly.
What you say makes so much sense!
And I haven't seen a few people who dare to raise the bar with my master so openly!
Xia Beifeng's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Su Yang.
"Hmm...... It's similar to your wife and children before you give birth, you won't know if it's yours or not. Ye Baiyu said casually, his eyes still did not leave his fingers, as if the whole person's soul did not know where to fly.
"That...... In fact, you can still do ......" Su Yang was only halfway through his words, and he successfully received the message conveyed to him by Xia Beifeng with his eyes, "Shut up, don't continue", and quickly changed the topic: "Hehe...... Then Daoist Ye, what do you think can win more in the end? ”
When Ye Baiyu heard this, he quickly pretended to be overhead, a pair of phoenix eyes flashed with pride, and he chuckled at Su Yang, and said, "Of course it's me!" ”
Master, do you have some misunderstanding of your own racial identity, why do you put yourself in a strange category?
Xia Beifeng turned to give Ye Baiyu a look of admiration.
"None of those things will be born, don't worry." Ye Baiyu raised his hand and patted Su Yang's shoulder as he spoke, and told him seriously: "I will strangle them in my mother's womb." ”
Su Yang nodded in shock, he didn't know what to say at all.
A cold whirlwind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves, circling the yard a few times, and then flying off into the distance.
Su Yang subconsciously shuddered.
The strange wind breeze gently brushed over the person's body, as if it could freeze all the bones of the person together.
Ye Baiyu stood in place and took a deep breath, and after the whirlwind passed, he turned his head energetically to Su Yang and Xia Beifeng and said, "Let's go look for the child who saw people that night...... That little ghost, you stay with the little policeman in the house as a watchman. ”
Ye Baiyu solemnly patted Sun Hao's shoulder, and said to him very seriously: "This is a very important task, that little policeman is not clear-headed, you must be careful, don't let irrelevant people enter this courtyard." ”
The originally depressed expression on Sun Hao's face was instantly swept away, he tiptoed to salute Ye Baiyu, and shouted loudly: "Master, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!" ”
"I'm relieved if you say that, and I'll leave it to you." Ye Baiyu nodded with great satisfaction, showing a little appropriate smile under the serious mask, then turned his head and waved his sleeves, and said to Su Yang and Xia Beifeng, "Let's go." ”
He pulled the wooden sword in his hand and strode towards the gate of the courtyard.
Xia Beifeng and Su Yang had no choice but to keep up.
The child's home was easy to find, Ye Baiyu walked directly to the gate of the house almost without stopping, and then raised his hand and gently knocked twice on the iron door at the entrance of their courtyard.
A middle-aged woman poked her head out of the room with a rice bowl in her hand and glanced out the door.
Ye Baiyu held his hands behind his back and stood indifferently at the door looking at the sky, looking like a master in the world.
The woman's face immediately changed with joy when she saw Ye Baiyu, and she quickly ran over to open the door for him, and turned around and shouted something into the house as she ran.
Xia Beifeng and Su Yang were driven away by him to stand aside before knocking on the door, and they had to stand there at this time, watching him surrounded by the family enthusiastically, and respectfully invited into the house.
There was even an old lady on crutches and hunched over her waist. The old lady was full of silver hair, and she looked like she was over eighty years old, and she couldn't walk steadily, and she needed someone to support her. But the moment she saw Ye Baiyu, she knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, until Ye Baiyu helped her up, she couldn't stop bowing, her face was full of tears.
"Feudal superstition is unacceptable!" Su Yang shook his head and sighed at Xia Beifeng: "Why didn't we encounter such a grand reception when we visited every house to handle cases before. ”
"Condolences." Xia Beifeng lit a cigarette on the side, leaned against a big tree, and took out his mobile phone, "Who told you that you didn't save the life of their grandson?" ”
"I want to save my life! But that's not my area of expertise! Su Yang sighed, found a stone to sit down, and raised his hand to ask Xia Beifeng for a cigarette.
"Oh, rich man!" Su Yang took the cigarette in his hand and observed it for a long time before lighting it, and asked Xia Beifeng in a breathless manner, "I said this comrade, you are quite profitable doing this work." ”
"Not at all." Xia Beifeng lowered his head and played with Tetris on his mobile phone, and replied without raising his head: "I didn't do this, or I ran blindly with Ye Baiyu, I didn't have any money to take it, and sometimes I had to take oil money." ”
"And what are you doing here?" Su Yang asked Xia Beifeng curiously, "I don't have any money to take it, is it because I have great love in my heart?" ”
"I'm not that noble."
Xia Beifeng's fingers moved quickly, clicking on the touch screen of the mobile phone. It wasn't until he watched the whole four lines disappear together, and the words "passed" flashed on the screen, that he raised his head with satisfaction and blinked his eyes.
He looked at the empty courtyard in front of him, imagining what kind of treatment Ye Baiyu was enjoying in it now, and suddenly he had the urge to pick up his son and leave immediately.
However, the urge only disappeared in my mind for a moment. He flicked the cigarette ash, lowered his head again and began to play a new round of games, and answered Su Yang's question by the way: "You can't ignore it when you encounter it, what do you say?" ”
"It's as simple as that?" Su Yang scratched his head, took a puff of cigarette, and looked at the summer north wind suspiciously, "You don't have any other reason...... Like childhood shadows or something? ”
"It's that simple!" Xia Beifeng replied as a matter of course.
After he said this, he paused, and seeing that Su Yang still had a puzzled expression, he tried to explain this matter to him: "For example, your current job is thankless all day long, and you don't earn much, so what are you trying to do?" ”
Su Yang didn't speak again, sat on the stone and continued to smoke his cigarette quietly, but his eyes began to wander, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Actually, there's something else I want you to know."
Xia Beifeng finished another game, looked up at the front and rested his eyes, and suddenly said: "Actually, as a person, the biggest childhood shadow comes from the guy whose name is written Ye Baiyu and read as Ye Lao Monster." ”
Su Yang raised his head when he heard this, and just saw the scene where Ye Baiyu walked out of the family's house with a polite smile on his face, and was sent to the gate by the whole family.
"Condolences." Su Yang said bitterly.
After speaking, he extinguished the head that was about to be withdrawn in his hand, got up and stood beside Xia Beifeng, waiting for Ye Baiyu to come over.
Ye Baiyu walked up to the two of them, raised his hand and threw a snow-white steamed bun to each of them, and said very proudly: "Just in time for dinner at the other people's dinner, you insist on keeping me...... Waiting? ”
Xia Beifeng shook his head, put the mobile phone back in his pocket, stuffed the steamed bun down in a few bites, turned back to Su Yang and said, "Comrade policeman, are you going to walk around with a steamed bun?" ”
Su Yang suddenly looked at Xia Beifeng with a sense of enlightenment, and quickly ate the steamed bun after learning his movements.
And then no, choked.
Ye Baiyu didn't reply and handed him a plastic bottle with liquid.
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Su Yang took the bottle, unscrewed the lid and poured water into his mouth.
He took only one sip and coughed violently, his whole face flushed.
"Are you alright?" Xia Beifeng looked at him nervously, and then noticed the bottle in his hand.
Xia Beifeng leaned over, sniffed at the bottle, and immediately looked at Su Yang with envy.
"This is Moutai!"
Su Yang waved his hand at him, lowered his head and tried to be smooth, without saying a word.
"Have you ever heard of a girl named Yue Yao?"
Ye Baiyu, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked Su Yang.
Su Yang still felt a little pain in his chest, tears were full of tears in his eyes, and he shook his head hesitantly.
"If you haven't heard of it, go check it out." Ye Baiyu said to Su Yang: "That kid said that he saw Sister Yue Yao that night, I asked briefly, that Sister Yue Yao seems to be He Ming's ex-girlfriend." ”
"Oh, good." Su Yang said and took out his mobile phone and began to ask on WeChat.
"Ah, by the way, there's another thing, it should be considered gossip." Ye Baiyu continued: "The person surnamed He doesn't know any strange customs, my sister-in-law is actually pregnant two years after my brother died...... I heard that it was to inherit the incense, and the family asked for it, so my sister-in-law was pregnant with my brother-in-law's child. ”
"This ......" Su Yang frowned and thought for a while, then typed a lot of words on WeChat before turning back to Ye Baiyu and saying, "Whether it's useful or not, I'll send it to Lao Liu and ask him to ask." ”
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and because it was a cloudy day, the light was dim quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky was already dark.
"You should go back first." Ye Baiyu kindly reminded Su Yang: "We will have to enter the mountain in a while, and it is not certain when we will come back."
